The passport changes but the blood doesn't

I don't have many superstitions, just dumb things I don't talk about. I will not sign an autograph with a green pen.

It is amazing how many drivers, even at the Formula One Level, think that the brakes are for slowing the car down.

I think social media really is a great tool. It fascinates me when I tweet something and right away you get a response almost immediately.

When a car's ahead of you, as long as you can see it, you get a tow, just like the draft in NASCAR. Even if it's a long ways down the track, it punches a hole in the air that has to help. When you're running alone, you can feel the difference, and it shows on the clock, too.

Do it no matter what. If you believe in it, it is something very honorable. If somebody around you or your family does not understand it, then that's their problem. But if you do have a passion, an honest passion, just do it.

The experts or the cynics say, "Oh, those were the good old days, that's when drivers were really drivers. They didn't have all these aids." You know what? What we had, we did the best with and when we got more we provided what was needed.
